Chapter 480: Reluctant Tourists
"Goodbye...goodbye, I will be back." Standing in front of the bus, Director Liu waved his hands vigorously. But after hearing his words, he didn't know Delia was under the bus and Wallis was coming to see them off. The mayor didn't know whether he heard it or not, but he was very excited anyway.
After chatting for a long time, everyone got on the bus and left the small town of Winthrop.
"Why, you still can't bear to leave?" After returning to the car, as soon as Director Qi sat down, the man sitting next to him started talking with a smile. But when he heard this man's words, Director Liu sighed. .
"I said that we have gone out many times, and every time I was not as tired as a dead dog. In the end, I just took some photos. When I was leaving, I didn't feel any nostalgia. But this time, I was really I like it here. The pace of life here is slow, and there are many things to do and good things. Hey, to be honest, I am really reluctant to leave." Hearing his companion's words, Director Liu sighed, and suddenly he I feel like I really came to the right place to play here this time.
"Haha, I can't bear to leave. You can come back next time." Hearing the words of his old companion, the people here also laughed and said.
"I really want to come here again. Do you think we can move here after we retire?" Turning around again and looking at the distant town, Director Liu suddenly faced the people around him. said.
"If this is a small town in China, then it doesn't matter if we come, but the problem is that this is a foreign country, so this is destined to be impossible." Hearing his companion's words, Director Liu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. I know what my companion said is right.
This is the United States. It’s not a place where you can settle down after retirement. If you want to settle in the United States, you need to get a green card.
It is not necessary to become a U.S. citizen. Like Jiang Hai, a green card is definitely needed.
There are only three possibilities for long-term settlement in the United States. The first is a work visa, but this requires a visa and tax returns. After they retire, it is impossible for them to pay taxes in the United States.
The second type is skilled immigration. If someone has some skills that the United States needs, they will be given a certain technical treatment and carry out skilled immigration.
However, domestic requirements for skilled immigrants are very strict. Generally speaking, those who want skilled immigrants basically go to college directly in the United States. After graduating from university, you can find a job here, apply for a work visa, and then after you have certain abilities, you can undergo skilled immigration and move directly from the country. It is rare for people to be released in the country, and Director Liu and the others do not have this option. play,
The third type is investment immigration. Originally this was the simplest, but there is a problem if they want to invest in immigration. Then the court will ask, where did the money for your investment come from? Purely based on salary, even if it is a state-owned enterprise. There's not much profit to be made.
Although it can guarantee a normal life, it is not easy to explain the millions of dollars spent in investment immigration.
It can't be like what an official said. There are tens of millions more in his bank card, and the money was earned by driving a black truck at night. No one in his right mind would believe this. speech.
Maybe the immigrants were not transferred, and in the end they were trapped by the court.
Director Liu is not stupid. He just said something with emotion when he heard the cold words of his old friend. He has already figured it out, and it seems that he will only be able to come over occasionally to play in the future. But fortunately, it’s not expensive to play here.
And there are many people here who have the same idea. Since getting on the bus, everyone has obviously not recovered from the excitement. Everyone is looking at their mobile phones and looking at the photos in them.
Those photos include people fishing in the sea, fishing, river fishing, shooting, riding horses, shopping, some charming buildings, as well as photos from two museums, and singing in teaching Photos of hymns, photos of the party...etc., everyone had to admit that this trip brought them a lot of surprises.
The food is very surprising. Whether it is the food in Jiang Hai Manor or the original food in the town, it is difficult to eat in China. At least based on their average salary, they will not be able to eat these in China. Gotta go bankrupt.
The fun aspect is even more surprising. Don’t underestimate this town. If you have a good idea, you can walk around by yourself. It only takes more than three hours to visit the whole town, but there are really many things to do in this town. , whether it is sea or land, it is quite interesting.
In terms of clothing, it is to make them happy. On Winthrop Commercial Street, except for the two museums, other places sell things, except for the largest ones, which are the town government and the Iroquois. Outside the closed Indian store.
Others include restaurants and clothes sellers. Of course, the clothes sold cannot be all international brands like Fifth Avenue.
It's the civilian clothing here in the United States, such as AF, which is the favorite of American high school and college students.
In addition, there is also AF's sub-brand R, which is also called Seagull in China. In addition, there are many other brands.
Of course, these brands are very cheap, and domestic tourists come and buy a lot.
Because it is really not expensive, a pair of pants costs more than 20 US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 100 yuan in Ruanmei currency, but the quality is much better than that in China. If it is purchased domestically, it will not cost more than 300 or 50 yuan. One hundred cannot come down at all.
So young people really buy a lot of clothes here, as well as some common domestic sports brands.
Things like durable shells are also sold here, but the price is much cheaper.
Some non-mainstream shoes, such as the LeBron James series of shoes now featured by Nike, this year's new models cost more than 1,000 yuan in China, and they also cost about 150 US dollars here, one-third cheaper than in China, and last year's The styles here only cost less than a hundred dollars. If they are from the year before last or some classic models, they are even cheaper.
Clothes and other items are also much cheaper than in China, so everyone who comes here to play, no matter where they eat, live, play or buy, is quite satisfied. Everyone only carries one luggage bag when they come here, but when they leave But he took more than two suitcases.
Especially those women are extremely excited about American cosmetics and the like.
On the contrary, it is the mobile phone that Jiang Hai thinks may be the most popular one, but no one cares about it here.
Just like fruit mobile phones, although the price here in the United States is much cheaper than in China, nearly half the price, and most importantly, it is better than the ones in China, but there is one biggest problem. , resulting in these people not buying mobile phones back home, not because of purchase restrictions, but because mobile phones bought here in the United States cannot access the Internet in China.
Not everywhere has Wi-Fi, and a mobile phone can’t turn on the Internet, which is always inconvenient.
These people are not short of money. They spend more than 6,000 to buy a fruit mobile phone, which is only half a month's salary. It's not that they can't afford it, so the mobile phone store that Jiang Hai has always had high hopes for this time only sells One went out.
It's the same family that came over to play and bought it for their children. For them, they can make calls and connect to wifi.
"Okay, everyone, our trip to the small town of Winthrop in the United States has come to an end. Now we will return to New York, get on the plane at New York's Guaraldi Airport, and return to the Imperial Airport to end this trip. This time I don’t know if everyone is satisfied with our small town.” Wu Shan, who stood at the front, clapped his hands and pulled everyone back from the feeling of reluctance, and asked loudly to everyone. After hearing his words, everyone It also exploded instantly.
"Satisfied, quite satisfied, Director Wu, I don't know how often the groups coming here are sent!" Someone said at that moment.
"Our time is actually just a trial. After confirming that this place is very good, we should publish it once or twice a month, or even three times. If everyone likes this place, please help us promote it when we go back. ." Looking at the excited crowd in front of him, Wu Shan also smiled and said, to be honest, it is really fun here.
Even though he has been traveling around for so many years, he has nothing good to say about this place.
"We will definitely come back!" After hearing what Wu Shandu said, Director Liu in front couldn't help but smile.
Since there is no way to settle here, coming here seems to be a good choice.
Listening to what Director Liu said, the people in the car laughed, but a seed that had already sprouted was planted in their hearts. Winthrop, the paradise in their eyes, would be their future. Will definitely come again.
"By the way, I didn't seem to see Jiang Hai when I left." At this moment, a young man suddenly said.
They have also gotten to know Jiang Hai a little bit these days. After all, they bought a lot of seafood from Jiang Hai.
And Jiang Hai is also quite interesting. Not only does he often give some gifts, but he also gives gifts.
There is no way to eat lobster, abalone, and sea cucumber every day, but the Arctic shrimps and crabs that Jiang Hai sometimes sends make them very satisfied. They taste quite good, better than those bought in China. Much more.
Now when Jiang Hailai is mentioned, these people feel that the secretion of saliva in their mouths is accelerating. He really has too many delicious things.
"I didn't see him yesterday. The big man who sent me here said that Jiang Hai seemed to have gone out yesterday and will not come back for a while." After hearing this man's words, there was a man who was closer to Jiang Hai next to him. He also spoke with a smile.
Hearing what he said, other people started talking at once, but what they focused on was not what Jiang Hai had to do, but that Jiang Hai's seafood was really delicious. But unfortunately, Even though it is five or six times cheaper than in China, they still can't afford it. After all, those seafood are not something that ordinary people can afford. (To be continued.)
ps: Today’s third update is here for everyone. Today is the last day of this month. Phew, Xiaofei has finally made it through another month. Let’s encourage you all!
